Understanding the ACTS Retreat

An ACTS retreat is a three-day, three-night Catholic lay retreat presented by fellow parishioners. The weekend begins on Thursday evening and concludes the following Sunday with a Mass celebrated with the parish community. Retreats for men, women, and teens are held separately, creating an intimate and focused environment for spiritual growth.

All talks and activities throughout the weekend are centered around the four pillars of ACTS:

Adoration

Listening to God and responding to Him

Community

Loving and caring for one another

Theology

Service

Serving God and His people

Grow Closer to Christ

Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church serve as the guides for every retreat. The weekend allows participants to experience God's love and joy firsthand, and retreatants return to their parishes with a deeper love for one another and a renewed desire to become more involved in their faith communities.

The retreat's goals are to:

  • Deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ
  • Renew your spirituality
  • Give new meaning to your prayer life and the Sunday Liturgy
  • Build lasting friendships rooted in faith
